Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest unveiled its “big ideas” for 2025 in a cryptic list, challenging users to interpret a series of custom images called “ARKmoji” to understand their picks for the year.

Ark’s ‘Big Ideas’ For 2026

On Monday, in a thread on X, the investment management firm shared six “ARKmojis” along with a poll containing options under each, allowing followers to vote on their interpretation of the idea behind each image.

1. AI Agents

The first image pointed towards agentic AI, but users were split on what it specifically implied, with options such as AI Agent Takeover, AI Consumer Op System and Build-Your-Own-Agent, all getting fairly high votes at 37.5%, 32.2% and 25.7%, respectively, with no clear winner.

In Ark’s current portfolio, holdings such as Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR), Tempus AI Inc. (NASDAQ:TEM) and Shopify Inc. (NASDAQ:SHOP) match this theme, with prominent agentic AI plays.
